WHAT IS QUICKDESK?
------------------

QuickDesk is a Win 95/NT 4.0 utility designed to mimic the ability found
in previous versions of Microsoft Windows to Alt-Tab to the Desktop
(Program Manager). When run, QuickDesk is available through use of the
Alt-Tab keys, or by clicking on its icon on the Task Bar. QuickDesk has
been programmed to run permanently while in Windows, however it can be
closed by using the Ctrl-Alt-Delete keys, then selecting "QuickDesk", and
clicking on the "End Task" button.

QuickDesk is freely distributable shareware.


ADDITIONAL FILE REQUIRED TO INSTALL AND RUN QUICKDESK
-----------------------------------------------------

To successfully install and run QuickDesk, the Visual Basic run-time file
VB40032.DLL must be installed on your computer. The VB40032.DLL file is
not included as part of the installation, as it is a file common to 32-bit
programs such as QuickDesk, and so therefore only has to been installed 
once. The VB40032.DLL file can be downloaded from many BBS’s and the
Internet, including ftp.digital.com, and many Shareware sites. The file
should be placed in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM) 
before attempting to install QuickDesk.


HOW TO INSTALL QUICKDESK
------------------------

To install QuickDesk, execute the file SETUP.EXE. This will start the 
QuickDesk installation program, which will install the QuickDesk files in
a chosen folder and add a shortcut to the QuickDesk program in the Startup
folder. If you received the QuickDesk program in a zipped archive file
(e.g. QUIKDSK3.ZIP), then the zip file must first be un-compressed, before 
the SETUP.EXE file can be executed.


WHAT’S NEW IN VERSION 3.0
-------------------------

Version 3.0 has introduced three main changes to previous versions of
QuickDesk. QuickDesk 3.0 will now run under Win NT 4.0 and the speed of
minimizing windows is increased. Also, a program bug that resulted
in some windows becoming unrestoreable has been corrected.
